Having problem with Network.

[shiggy]

I am having problems with this system and networking. When I right click on one of my hdd's there is no sharing tab. I have File and Printer sharing for Microsoft Networks enabled in the Network Properties. But when I run the Home Networking Wizard, i can enable to share printer and My Docs folder, then in Network Neighborhood I can see them there. What gives?? I have tried everything, just wondering if someone else had this prob and fixed it.

thanks,
shiggy

What OS? You're right clicking your HDD's to get sharing right?

 

[shiggy]

yes, that's how i am trying to get to the sharing. I am running ME.

I havent used ME b4. Just try to do it again, enable file and print sharing and then right click your hdd. It has to work if you do it that way.

I have tried and tried that, and it will not work. I have removed everything in the Network Properties and reinstalled everything time and time again. Nothing, no luck. WTF??

My daughter had similar problem sometime back, and it was caused by a proxy server she'd installed (and then removed) having created a registry entry that disabled file sharing. I don't recall the name of the key.
